Abstract
An exemplary test card includes a display unit for displaying a real time status of a number of electric power supply modules of a motherboard, and a programmable logic chip. The display unit includes at least one seven segment LED display. The programmable logic chip gains an effective data of the real time status, and drives the display unit to display the real time status based on the effective data. The real time status can indicate a normal working status, or an abnormal working status if one or more of the power supply modules is not working normally.
